This caused the roller to run at 100% voltage/speed while unloaded, which was fine for our application. This also had the nice property of working like a software clutch.

It would be cool if the Talon had a current cap mode that still allowed variable voltage control.
I was curious how the folks running superfast intakes and 6 cim drives were keeping their main breakers intact. IE, stalling an intake often can occur around the same time as stalling drives when trying to "dig a ball out of the corner".
